Gentilic designation in a list · dominant
In Genesis 10:18 and 1 Chronicles 1:16, the masculine singular gentilic form is listed alongside the Arvadite and Zemarite. The APB renders each list with “the Hamathite,” while Genesis 10:18 continues with the scattering of the families of the Canaanite.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across Genesis 10:18 and 1 Chronicles 1:16, the APB presents the list item as “the Hamathite.” The verse is read as a whole, but its wording corresponds to the gentilic listing in both verses.
